The 207A is described as an audio sweep oscillator, which I assume means
the F starts at 20Hz and over a time period the F is smoothly changed up
to 20kHz, enabling the audio F response of filters and speakers etc to be
seen on a CRO screen.

** Not at all, it is not a sweep generator.

Operation is purely manual [...]

...unless one employes the 1950's way of sweeping by using a motor fitted
to the protruding rear end of the tuning dial shaft.


** Which is not part of the 207As capabilities NOR has anything to do with
PT's silly assumption above.

Did you even read it ?

FYI:

The max manual sweep rate HP recommend is one in 20 seconds.

OTOH a sweep generator has to produce a viewable trace on a scope - so 10
to 20 sweeps per second, at least.
